Bingo,\u201d he said, comparing his reading glasses to Palin\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said he imported a bunch of rimless reading glasses and listed them with specific keywords that would attract those looking for that Sarah Palin look to his listings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI don\u2019t know, looking back, maybe it\u2019s a thin line to walk but it worked,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stevie said that he sold thousands of the \u201csuper basic\u201d glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo if you\u2019re launching an eBay or\u00a0Amazon<\/a>\u00a0business, look at trending celebrities and see if you can somehow capitalize on their style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an example, Stevie brings up a picture of former kickboxer-turned-influencer\u00a0Andrew Tate<\/a>\u00a0and his signature sunglasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd don\u2019t just look at\u00a0Justin Bieber<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Drake<\/a>, look at old rockstars, classic TV shows and figure out who older people want to look like too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He implored those starting their own online business to look at trending celebrities to see what’s popular and what will sell<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AN entrepreneur made thousands thanks to his side hustle of reselling a boring item and he didn\u2019t have to leave<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[254,3421],"tags":[888,3635,3429],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10864"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10864"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10864\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10865,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10864\/revisions\/10865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10864"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10864"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/blog.jlbn.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10864"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
